I had a Euro-Pro from HSN that I did NOT like. Sold it on e-Bay because I never used it. Now I have a Brother Serger that I do love. I do use it a lot, and it is easy to thread myself. It has 2 DVD's as well as a great manual with it. I recommend Brother products. It is a Brother Lock 1034D, and I got it online from Ken's Sewing in ALABAMA. I recommend his shop very highly for buying online. He is the Brother online distributorship, and he takes care of his buyers, and packaging for shipping is great. I've been to his store to pick up my first machine from him and am satisfied. He has almost 50,000 internet sales with 99.7% satisfaction. I am just a satisfied customer.

I have had a serger for years. I use it mostly for clothing but when I do applique blocks, I serge the edges of the foundation tho keep them from stretching and fraying, MIRACULOUS!! If you are having problems re-threading ( a real pain in the neck) just DON'T. Snip the threads at the cones and tie on the new threads, then turn the wheel to hand advance the the new thread. Stop at the needle(s), snip the knots off, and re thread the needle(s). the bottom threads (with the knots intact) will go through the bottom "loopers" just fine. Get a scrap of fabric and serge till the old thread is completely gone and new thread is all there is showing. DONE!!

I also have a 936 Husky and I love it. I have an old Brother in the closet but it would break the threads and was a bear to use. This one is so easy to thread and when you want to change colors you can just tie them on and be done. I like the serger to finish seams.

I love my Babylock because of the theeading. I also have a top of the line Bernina that I cursed everytime I had to use it. Took me longer to thread and get properly adjusted that to make the project. No regrets anout the Babylock.

i have a babylock from many years ago, 3 thread, and used only for basting (with long stitch) and overcasting....elna 4 thread used for seaming knits, seaming wovens, and all straight line quilting... love the speed, great tensions, easy to use... i have a pfaff for sewing and i would estimate about 60/40 with the pfaff slightly ahead...
